Agulu, who appeared as the third prosecution witness (PW3) in Emefiele's ongoing trial before Justice Yusuf Halilu on Tuesday, testified that the cash was usually brought to him by Emefiele's personal assistant, Eric Ocheme.
A former staff member of Zenith Bank, Richard Agulu, has told the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja that he handled billions of naira in cash allegedly deposited on behalf of former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, while acting on the defendant's instructions.
Agulu, who appeared as the third prosecution witness (PW3) in Emefiele's ongoing trial before Justice Yusuf Halilu on Tuesday, testified that the cash was usually brought to him by Emefiele's personal assistant, Eric Ocheme.
Under cross-examination by Emefiele's counsel, Mathew Burkaa (SAN), the witness said he either lodged the money into the accounts of Ifeabigo Integrated Services and Kelvito Integrated Services or kept the cash in Zenith Bank's vault based on instructions allegedly issued by Emefiele.
According to Agulu, Emefiele communicated the directives through Ocheme, who relayed the instructions via phone.
